THe main PC which no longer works on the internet still has a good physical connection, but it does not receive any data now. So I pinged that computer, and a dos box opened up, and it pinged the address you gave three times successfully: "reply from 192.168.0.1 bytes=32 time =1ms TTL=64" I got the same results on the new PC also, BTW.
When I try to run the repair utility under network connections/SUPPORT, it always fails, it says it was unable to get new IP address.
I think that the 192.168.0.140 address is hard-coded into the router and that is its an unchanging physical address, is it not? So why can't the main PC pick up the correct router address now?

On the main pc.
Go to your network connections and right click on your connection. Go to status and then click on the support tab under that tab it will have a box post what is beside each of the little things such as
ex. (these are mine)
Address type: Assigned by DHCP
IP Address: 192.168.2.101
Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.0
Default Gateway: 192.168.2.1
(i've got 2 instead of 0 because I had to change my router's address because of ICS)
If your thing doesn't have Assigned by DHCP as the first one right click on your connection go to properties. there is a list scroll down it until you get to TCPInternet protocol and highlight it and click properties make sure that the first circle and the third circle you see is filled in don't worry about making sure that the numbers are 0's.
This is probably confusing to you so i made a video that you can view at:
